Polymer chemistry and macromolecular engineering
Summary
Know modern methods of polymer synthesis. Understand how parameters, which determine polymer structure and properties, such as molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, topology, microstructure can be controlled by proper choice of polymerization method and optimization of reaction condition
Content
- Introduction: Polymer structure, molecular weight and properties
- Step polymerization
- Radical chain polymerization (free radical polymerization, controlled radical polymerization)
- Emulsion polymerization
- Ionic chain polymerization (anionic and cationic polymerization)
- Chain copolymerization
- Ring-opening polymerization
Keywords
Polymer chemistry
chain polymerization
step polymerization
